I find this incredibly interesting. I had an ear infection or something that was lingering, so my Dr. had me get a CT Scan to make sure that the infection had not spread. Yesterday I felt pretty decent, and today I am feeling sooooooo much better. So I'm assuming that everything is okay with my brain. Or, at the very least my status quo, bird nerd, geek brain is intact! I put the films on my light table, but of course I couldn't hang from the ceiling with my 50-250mm lens, so as you can see, there is a bit of an angle.
Do you see the bunny rabbit? LOL!
Hugs and thanks for viewing...my brain, LOL! =o)

Positron emission tomography (PET) is a functional imaging technique that uses radioactive substances known as radiotracers to visualize and measure changes in metabolic processes, and in other physiological activities including blood flow, regional chemical composition, and absorption.
PET scanners can incorporate a CT scanner and are known as PET-CT scanners. PET scan images can be reconstructed using a CT scan performed using one scanner during the same session.

I asked the technician if the CT scan made a noise and
she told me that it sounds like a jet taking off.
So, as I had my knee scanned today, sure enough, when the machine started up it did sound like a jet taking off.

. . . Here is my CT Scan from the other day, a single slice of X-ray with my back on the bottom and my right side on the viewers left side. On this film is the reason I am in the hospital and looking at a surgery date next week some time. Here's a clue, look up "insulinoma"!
For everyone that has commented and encouraged me with good wishes and prayers this past week, I say THANK YOU!! You may never know if they do any good, but I KNOW THEY DO!!

A CT or MRI scanner in an abandoned military hospital. If anyone can tell the difference let me know. Two of them were left there, such a terrible waste.

This is a CT scanner suite playset for minifigs, consisting of the exam room, the control room, and a waiting room.
The computer tomograph (CT) has been modeled after the Siemens Somatom Force.
Gonzo's abdomen is being scanned. Obviously, he needs a companion - Camilla is at hand!
However the fundamental question remains whether Gonzo's nose would fit inside the scanner ;-)

Okay, how about we x-ray some flowers? Something I’ve been wanting to do for a very long time, though I have found it very challenging to get access to the necessary equipment (x-ray devices are regulated quite strictly, also very expensive). So then, how was I able to proceed down this rabbit hole?
I was approached by Mat Schwartz, Assistant Professor at NJIT (New Jersey Institute of Technology) who was familiar with my macro photography and has access to a laboratory CT scanner. CT scans use x-rays, and this scanner is designed to create 3D models of objects placed within it. I didn’t need the modeling aspects, just a plan x-ray function would work nicely!
The trouble with more common x-ray devices is that they are designed to image bone, and therefore have higher power output that would make a flower invisible. With this CT scanner at its lowest power setting of 20KV (it goes up to 100KV for bone and metal). The exposure is configured by setting the voltage, the current and the exposure length appropriate for the subject, and that level of control is required to fine tune the look and feel of the subject. Adjusting these parameters is not at all like operating a normal camera; you can make the image brighter or darker, but also control the contrast by adjusting these variables.
The image was made with Mat’s help operating the device (a Bruker SkyScan), while I chose the specimen, placement, orientation and composition. The camera generates TIF files, and multiple images of the same flower are taken in quick succession and then combined using a median blend to soften any noise and generally improve the image quality right at the beginning of the editing process.
Initially, the resulting image has a light grey background with the flower pushing darker where there is greater density – inverting that starts to get you to the look and feel we see here. Some basic adjustments to curves can set the black and white points, but the detail needs to be enhanced. The resolution isn’t fantastic and the details are a little blurry, so a combination of ON1 Photo RAW for structure, Camera Raw for clarity, and high-pass sharpening techniques were used to get the most out of the textures and details.
It was a thrill to spend a few hours tinkering with compositions in x-ray. Compositionally you need to think differently, because the lines and shapes of the image will not appear the same way we see it. A flower about to bloom or one with internal components (like a bladderwort) will appear completely different in this exotic light. Much like 3D images need to be composed for depth, x-ray images need to be composed for hidden details and transparency.
More of these to come! It was an honour to collaborate with NJIT on the creation of this image, and others like it. Big thanks to Mat and NJIT for making it happen!
me and my brownie, ann, and mom...
right now i'm sitting in the hospital (again) with my mom... yesterday she didn't feel right and got very weak... she called 911... then me... we were in the ER from about 6pm, in a fine gurney in the hall with a view of a guy who od'd while attempting suicide, to 1am last night... when the er doc inexplicably released her... he didn't do a real physical exam... went by the ctscan and mom's description of how she felt... so i drove her home even though it had become clear that her left hand had become useless... just dead and hanging... i virtually had to carry/drag her into the house and around the house... after a few hours of sleep... mom woke me up yelling for me... she had fallen down... more of a slide down so she wasn't hurt.. but it was obvious that we had to call 911 again... so back to the er... this time the head of the stroke program at the hospital examined mom... her left side was a mess... weak... eyesight messed up to the left... and the hand just not working... but mom was still sharp as a tack... mom immediately got admitted and an MRI scheduled... for some reason the hospital is just packed... we finally got a room at around 5:30pm... after the MRI... so right now mom is resting well... waiting on dinner... and results from the MRI...
during this time, v has been taking care of my dad... bless her... dad has been on his best behavior... when i picked him up at his house after mom was taken by the ambulance... he was a wreck... almost crying... it took a good half hour to get him packed up and ready to go to my house for the night or more... he was disoriented... it was even difficult to get him in the car... very unusual and bad since i was in a hurry to get to the hospital... so when i get him to my house... in a low tone i tell v "dad is driving me nuts... i need to get to the er..." and in a flash dad has his arm around me and tells me "i don't mean to drive you nuts, son..." i stopped my panic and gave the old man a hug... what an f'ing time for him to get perfectly lucid... dads' know... clearly i'm learning from the best... my son doesn't stand a chance!!
looks like mom moved during her MRI... a do-over is scheduled for tonight... the orderlies are here and ready to take her to radiology just as her food arrived... its been around 30 hours since mom last ate... she'll eat first... and some good news... they'll move mom to a neurology floor tonight... yay...
whoa... that was some sleep deprived ramblings!!

2. The veterinary staff apply some straps to Irwin, the six-year-old Nigerian dwarf goat, prior to taking a CT scan of his head. The purpose of the procedure was to check on the results of a previous surgery.
This is a LEGO radiotherapy playset with a medical linear accelerator (LINAC), a CT scanner (computer tomograph) for treatment planning, and a control room for both LINAC and CT scanner.
Belville figures comprise the staff; brick separators receive their treatments - they suffer from diseases that require radiotherapy.
The control room (middle) is manned with a medical physicist, responsible for treatment planning, and an RT nurse at the CT scanner. In addition there is a brick separator on a stretcher waiting for his treatment.
(There is some indication that the staff are somewhat nerdy.)
The LINAC room is on the left side. There are two cameras for patient surveillance.
A shelf contains some masks, a wingboard, and a knee cushion. A radiation-shielding door provides access from the control room. It may be opened and closed.
A brick separator is currently being treated.
The LINAC has an on-board imaging system and a portal vision; both can be deployed. The gantry can be rotated, and the patient table may be swiveled.
The CT room is to the right; another brick separator is being scanned. The patient table is movable.

This beautiful Poinciana plant, whose flower clusters on tall stalks are in varying stages of living and dying, is in the Garden of The University Of Arizona Medical Center (UAMC).
I was there last week for a CT Scan, as one of the required steps to ensure that I really am a viable candidate for a cochlear implant in my right ear...

Now this is some serious hardware...sure to set off alarms every time I go through airport security!!! (I took this photo at last week's CT scan...and just about fell on the floor when I saw the size of these screws!)
A huge thank you to each and every one of you who have left caring comments or sent emails asking how I am doing. I can't tell you how touched I am at the outpouring of care and concern here at flickr...
Please know that I am doing really well...feeling a little more like myself each and every day. I think this is going to be a long journey...longer than I'd like...but I'm committed to returning to my previous strength and activity level.
I've come to realize that when it comes to our personal challenges, as long as we keep putting one foot in front of the other, we are moving forward...no matter how small or slow the step.
This is a CT playset which fits into a LEGO storybook.
This photograph shows the playset after things have unfolded.
Poor Emmet was hit in the head with a DUPLO brick, and the situation is serios.
How to deploy the playset:
- Open the storybook
- Flip up the backrest of the swivel chair
- Temporarily remove Emmet + patient table and the doctor from the book
- Rotate the table base appr. 180 degs toward the CT (the cogweel holding the table base is placed on a turn table. The swiveling table ensures that the book may be closed with all the equipment inside).
- Place the table containing poor Emmet on the table base.
- Place the doctor, either at the CT or on the swivel chair at the PC.
- If needed, rotate the IV stand closer towards the CT.
Now the patient table containing Emmet can be pushed into the CT scanner.
Background
Due to the Covid 19 pandemic, in April 2020 a French hospital was in dire need of an additional CT canner.
Normally, the entire process from order to installment of such a device takes several months.
However there was the option to get an entire CT suite, a "CT In A Box" delivered and deployed within a fortnight.
The container including the full system was placed on a parking deck.
Here is a short video covering the story;
